This paper investigates the existence conditions of cusp points in the design parameter space of the R\underline{P}R-2P\underline{R}R parallel manipulators. Cusp points make possible non-singular assembly-mode changing motion, which can…
We extend our previous result on the behavior of the quadratic part of a complex points of a small $\mathcal{C}^{2}$-perturbation of a real $4$-manifold embedded in a complex $3$-manifold. We describe the change of the structure of a normal…
The purpose of this paper is to give a better understanding of complex points up to quadratic terms of real codimension $2$ submanifolds embedded in a complex $3$-manifold. We answer the question how a normal form of a pair of one arbitrary…
In this paper, we study deformations of Brieskorn polynomials of two variables obtained by adding linear terms consisting of the conjugates of complex variables and prove that the deformed polynomial maps have only indefinite fold and cusp…
For generic maps from compact surfaces with boundary into the plane we develop an explicit algorithm for minimizing both the number of cusps and the number of components of the singular locus. More precisely, we minimize among maps with…
We consider smooth 1-parameter families of plane curves tangent to a semicubic parabola, when the curvature radius of their curves at the tangency point vanishes at the cusp point. We find the $\A$-normal form of these families, their…
Locally stable minimal hypersurface could have singularities in dimension $\geq 7$ in general, locally modeled on stable and area-minimizing cones in the Euclidean spaces. In this paper, we present different aspects of how these…
Mutual inhibition is a common motif in neural systems. Here, we establish that cusped singularities - folded singularities located at cusp points of critical manifolds - provide a universal organizing mechanism for mixed-mode oscillations…
We investigate the emergence of singular solutions in a non-local model for a magnetic system. We study a modified Gilbert-type equation for the magnetization vector and find that the evolution depends strongly on the length scales of the…
We study the pattern of activated trajectories in a double well system without detailed balance, in the weak noise limit. The pattern may contain cusps and other singular features, which are similar to the caustics of geometrical optics.…
Exact non-perturbative results have been conjectured for R^4 couplings in type II maximally supersymmetric string theory. Strong evidence has already been obtained, but contributions of cusp forms, invisible in perturbation theory, have…
A wide range of equations related to free surface motion in two dimensions exhibit the formation of cusp singularities either in time, or as function of a parameter. We review a number of specific examples, relating in particular to fluid…
Microscopic symmetries impose strong constraints on the elasticity of a crystalline solid. In addition to the usual spatial symmetries captured by the tensorial character of the elastic tensor, hidden non-spatial symmetries can occur…
Several new combinatorial descriptions of closed 4-manifolds have recently been introduced in the study of smooth maps from 4-manifolds to surfaces. These descriptions consist of simple closed curves in a closed, orientable surface and…
Spatially periodic modulation of the intersite coupling in two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear lattices modifies the eigenvalue spectrum by opening mini-gaps in it. This work aims to build stable localized modes in the new bandgaps. Numerical…
Singularities arise in diverse disciplines and play a key role in both exploring fundamental laws of physics and making highly-sensitive sensors. Higher-order (>3) singularities, with further improved performance, however, usually require…
Quantum fields are investigated in the (2+1)-open-universes with non-trivial topologies by the method of images. The universes are locally de Sitter spacetime and anti-de Sitter spacetime. In the present article we study spacetimes whose…
The aim of this paper is to classify one family of 3R serial positioning manipulators. This categorization is based on the number of cusp points of quaternary, binary, generic and non-generic manipulators. It was found three subsets of…
This paper investigates the local behavior of 3D Filippov systems $Z=(X,Y)$, focusing on the dynamics around cusp-fold singularities. These singular points, characterized by cubic contact of vector field $X$ and quadratic contact of vector…
Let f be a 1-variable complex polynomial such that f has a singularity at the origin. In the present paper, we show that there exists a deformation of f which has only fold singularities and cusps as singularities of a real polynomial map…
